Engaging with stakeholders

The AEC's approach to stakeholder engagement aligns with the goal to provide world-class electoral services.

The AEC provides accurate and clear information to stakeholders in a way that is well structured and consistent across the agency. The AEC identifies shared objectives and encourages two-way communication.

Six principles that guide the AEC's stakeholder engagement

Inclusive and Targeted

Actively identify and engage with individuals and organisations that have a stake in, or will be affected by, our services. Stakeholder input is sought on issues that matter to them.

Transparent

Engage stakeholders openly and make clear our purpose, goals, responsibilities, expectations and constraints. The AEC is impartial and objective.

Appropriate & Adaptive

Identify issues of significance and respond appropriately. Collaborate with stakeholders and look for mutual benefit. The AEC is flexible to changing needs.
